Seek To Be Spirit-Filled Witnesses

 Baptism is a beautiful outward sign of a miraculous inner change effected by the work of the Holy Spirit in the heart of the man or woman who trusts in Christ by grace through faith, baptism was not Paul's primary mission. Paul's main calling was to preach the gospel of grace to a lost and dying world, in season and out of season, to all who had ears to hear.
 We are not to share the good news of the gospel in the strength of our fleshly self, or by implementing a man-made program or some sort of promotion strategies. Like Paul, we are not called to witness to the good news of Christ in the power of our own fleshly self, to do so would cause Christ's sacrifice to be rendered null and void, losing its meaning and depriving it of its power.
 May we Seek To Be Spirit-Filled Witnesses and walk godly in Christ Jesus, as led by the Holy Spirit of power and to the glory of God. May we be ready to tell of the good news of the gospel of grace in spirit and truth, but not in cleverness of speech so that the Cross of Christ will not be made void.
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we pray that we may be used by You to teach the truth of Jesus Christ, our crucified and resurrected Savior, to all that You put in our pathways. Keep us from promoting ourselves in prideful manners, but we pray that we may be used as instruments to shed abroad the glorious news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. To His praise and glory, AMEN.
